Two different views and suggestion provided by two different landscapers.
1) slope lawn/ground away from retaining wall (u shaped) into middle of lawn with storm water pit collection point (surface water) from all four sides...goes underground and spills out to kerbside or
2) slope land from front of house to front retaining wall and water seeps down against wall to ag pipe or/and dispels through weep hole.
Which is a safer option and not detrimental or putting presure on retaining wall? Retaining wall height is from 1m to 1.4m to be done in core filled besser block.
Red clay soil with h1/h2 soil and is small lot. Front yard to be turfed - is only approx 40m2.
Looking for advice. Thanks you.
